Local bins and recycling news
AI-generated summary, reviewed before publication. Checked 18 September 2026.
Caerphilly is expanding doorstep recycling advice after reporting fewer recyclables in general rubbish bins. An August 2026 update said advisers worked with 5,723 households over 12 weeks, with bins containing recyclable material falling from 799 to 154. Food waste was the most commonly misplaced material. The council issued 23 legal notices, but only two cases reached fixed penalties; it says education comes first and enforcement follows repeated problems. A further phase covering 5,696 properties had begun, including parts of Caerphilly, Ystrad Mynach, Penallta, Bargoed, Newbridge, Blackwood and Cefn Fforest. Councillor Chris Morgan credited residents’ response to practical support.
